Colac and the Colac Otway Shire are where children still kick the footy in the street, where you’ll always find a car park nearby, where the shopkeeper remembers how you like your coffee and where leading manufacturers and producers ensure people seeking jobs in rural Victoria can find rewarding work.

In Colac, the houses and the backyards are big, but the mortgage is small, especially compared with city prices. Throughout Colac and district you’ll find some of the most affordable housing in regional Victoria.

The commute to work is just five minutes, unless of course you choose to live along the coast, where the commute is an hour – not through gridlock traffic – but through the fresh air of the Otways, the ultimate destination for a tree change in Victoria.
